To support the fast-growing demand for FHIR solutions in the US, we have scaled up our presence by establishing a new company: Firely USA Inc. Firely has served US customers with considerable success since 2018, and this latest move shows our commitment to innovation in the healthcare sector in North America. Firely USA Inc. enhances our ability to deliver tailored solutions for interoperability and regulatory compliance, especially in the light of final rules such as CMS-0557-F.
Our CEO Rien Wertheim commented:
Better data drives better healthcare. As FHIR gains traction worldwide, this is the right moment to extend Firely’s involvement with the standard in the US healthcare sector, and I’m delighted to be moving forward with an exceptional team of FHIR experts.’
Earlier this year, we asked the Simplifier community how they use Simplifier, Forge, and Firely Terminal in their day-to-day FHIR work. First of all, thank you to everyone who took the time to participate.
Simplifier now runs entirely on Firely .NET SDK 6. This release brings a list of rendering improvements for your conformance resources, and consolidates our documentation in one place.
Forge 2026.2.0 upgrades the profiling engine to .NET 10 and Firely .NET SDK 6.2.1, adds support for the suppression extension, and speeds up loading of complex profiles. Quality Control now runs solely on the current Firely validator, and the Project view's Structure Type filter has been streamlined. Note that .NET 10 may need to be installed by your IT department on managed machines.
Simplifier.net now hosts country-specific results from the 2026 State of FHIR Survey, letting you explore how HL7 FHIR is being adopted in each participating jurisdiction.
This release lets you pin canonical references when creating a package, locking each one to the exact version it resolved to so your packages stay reproducible. Simplifier honours the version in a reference when resolving, with two new quality-control rules to help you pin safely. On top of that, the platform has moved to .NET 10, alongside a set of UI improvements and bug fixes.
The 2026 Simplifier User Survey is now open, and we need your input. Tell us which tools and features drive real value in your FHIR workflow, and where the platform can do better. It only takes a few minutes, and your response shapes what we build next.
Use this new skill to combine Firely Terminal with your AI-driven workflows to give your agent real tools to perform FHIR validation and not just guess.
This latest Forge 2026.1.0 release introduces significant updates, focusing on advanced modeling capabilities, more robust validation, and improved package management to enhance your profiling workflow.
The latest Simplifier.net release revolves around safety and productivity. While we have implemented new measures behind the scenes to protect accounts, we introduce important innovations for professionals in metadata management, validation and user-friendliness. In this note we explain the improvements and outline what they mean for your FHIR projects.
New on Firely: a deep‑dive blog and whitepaper on how FHIR Obligations sharpen the long‑standing Must Support flag into explicit, actor‑specific, and machine‑readable conformance rules—moving interoperability from narrative intent to testable behavior in real‑world FHIR implementations.
